Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain acupuncture’s pain-relieving effects, including central opioid pain inhibition,the diffuse noxious inhibitory control (DNIC) system and anti-inflammation.The process of needle insertion in any part of the body may alleviate pain through the mechanisms of opioids or DNIC, and the anti-inflammatory action of acupuncture may be generalised throughout the body.
If you or your family members are experiencing heel or foot pain without relief with mainstream treatments, why not consider coming for an acupuncture course at CHIME TCM clinic to see if that works for you.
